YoungArts 2020-2021

I think that he meant to say finalist - merit/hm emails will be released after thanksgiving

I really hope they just got the call tonight because maybe maybe maybe there are still some poetry finalists left for next week

thatā€™s my hope too!! i doubt youngarts will call on the weekend so.

Has anyone heard about winners for design arts?

Just trying to hype myself up for honorable mention and merit at this point.

poetry should be notified already. three on twitter and this board.

@noodley There may be overlaps however

Iā€™ve pretty much given up and Iā€™m a senior so I was trying to figure out if I could still enter next year as an 18 yr old but I think Iā€™ll miss it by a day? My birthday is December 1 and Iā€™ll be 18 all of 2021 but that day Iā€™ll be 19. Does anybody know if I can still enter at 18 or do I have to be 18 on Dec 1?

Saw another classical voice finalist on FB - this one is a tenor (posted overnight).

The really weird thing about this is that I will be still be 18 by December 1 2022ā€¦ when Iā€™m a sophomore in college. If anything Iā€™ll apply next year again

@artivist247 do you mind sending me the link to that tweet? thanks

someone just got finalist for photography on twitter. i guess thereā€™s still hopeā€¦?

Hate to be a downer, but the same photography finalist posted the day before (Nov. 20) that she had serious news to announce either that day, or the next (today), that ā€œBlack youth are reppingā€. Consider that and the professionalism of her post (unique graphic), itā€™s very possible she got the call yesterday about YoungArts, not today. But hey, just speculation!

Three on Friday is not bad! Better than nothing on Thursday.

It seems YoungArts has halted all calling during the weekend; their Twitter has been quiet since Friday at 5:04 PM (Eastern Timezone, their Timezone) as of Saturday 7:05 PM (also EST). Now the hours of operation on the YoungArts website lists ā€œMondayā€“Friday, 9 AMā€“5:30 PM Eastern Timeā€, and so far (at least the recent tweets about Finalist notifications Iā€™ve read), all of their tweets fall within this timespan and dates. Though there have been cases of Finalists posting their wins after 5:30, letā€™s say those outliers are special cases, Finalists delayed in posting their wins to social medias forā€¦ personal reasons. YoungArts could be doing overtime to compensate for their workload, but currently I doubt that applies to the weekend. So I wouldnā€™t expect any calls at all this weekend, but despair not! They havenā€™t called the Finalist process complete, and since their last update (5:04 PM EST) was at their last possible operating hours (following their work schedule), thereā€™s still hope. YoungArts wants this finished and tied up as well, Iā€™m sure that poor social media overseer wouldnā€™t waste any time in ending prolonged anxieties. In conclusion, letā€™s relax this weekend (or remainder of it). We worked hard, we gave it our best, letā€™s take a breath before next Monday!
But hey, just speculation!

Why wonā€™t that last little hopeful scrap of my brain please shut up? Like bro Iā€™m just going to be disappointed

Anyone know if emails have started?

I got 2 missed callsā€¦ donā€™t think its YARTS tho because area codeā€¦do we get emails???

(I someone could let me know thatā€™d be great, prolly just a random call but maybe??)
edit: nvm I think I just wait for the official list to be up, because I think only finalists get calls?

only finalist are called, but sometime in this next week or so the other winner should be notified by emailā€¦ probably by next friday?

anyone know the exact dates and timing?
